Snowman Math

Luke and I had fun today making a snowman scene while working on mathematics. I saw this idea in the Mailbox Magazine for Teachers. It is a simple, fun activity that any preschooler would love! All you need is a sheet of white paper with the number 1-12 (or 10, whatever you are working on) written along the bottom, flashcards corresponding to the numbers on the bottom of the paper and Bingo Dot Markers (found at the Dollar store).

Luke drew a flashcard out of the stack and practiced sounding out the number word as best he could. I obviously had to help him on most of them since they are phonetically ridiculous. haha! After he figured out the correct number, he found it at the bottom of his page and put that many dots above the number to build his snowman. Do this until you are done with every flashcard.

I just think your blog is amazing & you always have such wonderful ideas! I am giving you The Versatile Blogger Award - http://livinglifeintentionally.blogspot.com/2011/11/versatile-blogger-award.htmlBeth =-)

Just like Beth said above... I love your blog and ideas I'm ALSO giving the versatile blog award at my blog The Only Thing Pink in a World Gone Bluehttp://worldgoneblue.blogspot.com/2011/11/versatile-blog-award.html

Newest follower! PINNING THIS!!! So simple yet SO FUN! You could also mix up the numbers and then talk about tallest/shortest etc (I'm a speech pathologist...always looking at targeting concepts! HA!) This would be awesome for my new linky party, Thrifty Thursday. I'd love for you to come by! http://www.playingwithwords365.com/2011/11/thrifty-thursday-linky-party-1/

I was gonna feature this on my kindergarten blog this week with a printable freebie! Would you mind? I just love this and think this would be a great way to reinforce number words for my kinders. Let me know...thanks!Erin http://eberhartsexplorers.blogspot.com/
